Tha.means that they trust you enough to not turn what they are watching against them at least. Yes, men tend to be isolated enough that sharing what they like to watch on YouTube requires at least some respect.

The last video any guy shared with me was about a dude from the early 1900s who got trapped in a cave and died. It was unexpectedly riveting.

I haven't considered how I could turn that against them, but I do feel resourceful and I'm not as afraid of holes as I should be

Go watch "the cost of concordia" by the same guy :)

If you haven't already that is.

That video from the internet historian? Great shit

Nailed it. Feels weird to call him delightful, considering the subject of that one, but I totally needed three more channels to subscribe to last night

There are holes worth fearing

It was made for me. This is my hole.

Um, link? It's bad etiquette to talk about a video and not providing a link to it.

Man in cave

Sorry I kinda ruined bits, though

[–] jagungal@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, internet historian. That's one of his better ones

The upside down dude? Incredible

As I guy, I relate strongly. I think that's because of all the ridicule I used to receive for things I liked as a kid. If I share my music playlist with you, that means a lot as well - music is very intimate.

Never thought about this in my life, but it’s absolutely true unless it’s to do with politics.

does super gay putin count

[–] IanSomnia@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago

I feel seen.

[–] runjun@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

I didn’t come on here to be attacked…but it’s true.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 20 points 11 months ago

That's about right, yeah. Please don't mock us. 🥺

If I show you a 1-hour drama breakdown about an obscure 2010s content creator it means I trust and respect you.

When they share their Roblox char it's time to put a ring on it
